NRA Convention, Day Three

Okay, it's the last day of the NRA convention. I need to cover some lost ground and hit some manufacturers and get some pictures, as well as figure out what the last night's activities are going to be. It has been an excellent show - complete with protestors which will see a separate post once I've uploaded the pictures.

We've had an amazing couple of nights' worth of activities; last night's event saw five participants in kilts - once I cajole Jennifer into sharing you can see the group photo... I finally got to meet Speakertweaker, having missed him the last time he was in Boston. Walking through downtown Houston in a kilt is an experience unto itself (and I have Breda to thank for metaphorically kicking me in the ass when I started waffling...)

Going to wrap this up quick and get back out there. I've been lax in my on-the-floor reporting, and I intend to rectify that today. Gotta talk to some folks, get some information, and get lots of pictures of shiny.

Open Invitation for New Shooters

Just want to extend an open invitation to all potential new shooters in the Northern Virginia area. If you have never shot a firearm, or would like to get back into the shooting sports, or are an accomplished shooter who'd like to try something in my arsenal, give me a shout.

New shooters get range time, targets, gun use and ammo on me. I've even got extra eye and ear protection - all you have to do is show up.
